While cream is the main ingredient in several classic drinks, Natalie Bovis, mixologist and author of Edible Cocktails: From Garden to Glass, took the dairy trend in a different direction: "Yogurt brings a thicker, creamy viscosity and adds an unusual, lip-smacking tartness to cocktails and mocktails," she says.

While Bovis believes the technique is still fairly new, popular health trends suggest that it may take off in a big way. "Many home entertainers tend to err on the side of making drinks too sugary. Yogurt's tanginess helps to balance out sweet fruit or liqueurs."
